We had such a wonderful stay at Codorniz Recreation Area Campground! The campground itself was quiet, clean, and very well maintained. The park grounds were beautiful, and it was obvious that a lot of care goes into keeping everything looking great.
The free showers were a huge bonus and much appreciated. The bathrooms were decent overall. Unfortunately, a few fellow campers left them messy, which isn’t the campground’s fault. The staff did their best to keep up with it.
Our kids had an absolute blast playing in the water and enjoying the volleyball court. It was the perfect place for our family to relax and make memories together.
The absolute highlight of our stay was Terri and J. They are two of the friendliest, kindest, and happiest campground hosts we’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome. They went out of their way to make our kids smile by giving them stickers and coloring books, which absolutely made their day. It’s those little thoughtful gestures that leave a lasting impression. They were always cheerful, incredibly helpful, and genuinely seemed to love what they do.
Because of Terri and J, along with the clean, peaceful campground, this was one of our favorite camping trips. We’d gladly return and highly recommend Codorniz Recreation Area Campground to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly place to camp.

As always love this place it’s hot hot hot there from late June to October if you have a large AC on your rig you’ll be fine as most spots have no shade covering the spaces…. Lake is way way down this time of year….

It's a very nice campground. The RV spots are a little tight getting into, but not unmanageable.

Water is still low but that didn't stop the fish from biting. Hosts were very professional and friendly.

It’s was hot, How hot? Real hot.
Nice campground just wish there were more shade options for where the RV/trailers can park.

We had a very good camping experience and had the whole area to ourselves. However, because of no nearby campers, the ground squirrels and their babies were out in full force. There were about 3 or 4 squirrel families in groups of 8 to 10 each. Tho, the squirrels are cute, we saw a few persistently trying to enter our campsite and they would run under the camper. We ran them off. Thirty minutes of driving, after checking out, the engine light came on. The Ford mechanic found new chew marks on the knock tube under the manifold. It will cost us $2k to repair the damage. One recommendation we got is to leave our hood up during the day.
